Becca Kufrin to Join Ben Higgins as Co-Host of 'Bachelor Live On Stage'
There’s even more reason to get excited for the upcoming tour of “The Bachelor Live On Stage”: Becca Kufrin will officially be joining Ben Higgins as his co-host for the new endeavor!
Becca said in a statement that she was “thrilled to be part of Bachelor Live Tour and alongside Ben.”
She shared, “The Bachelor experience changed my life in the most amazing ways, so being able to visit cities around the country and allowing others to feel that unique energy, positivity, hope and love (fingers crossed) is something so truly special. Because of Bachelor Nation, I have shared myself and relationships, and all of the ups and downs, tears and smiles, heartbreak and happiness that came with it, and now it’s time for others to share theirs as we kick off this ‘journey’ together!”
Ben expressed similar enthusiasm about having Becca join him across the country. He said, “Sharing the stage with one of the most beloved Bachelorettes is an honor! I am thrilled that Becca and I will be co-hosting this tour together!”

What’s more, Kendra Scott has been named as the tour sponsor, and the company will host parties in their stories in a number of cities. You can get more information about those get-togethers by following Kendra Scott’s social media pages.
Becca talked about the big news on a new episode of “Bachelor Happy Hour” that she co-hosted with Rachel Lindsay. The Season 14 Bachelorette said in the podcast that she was “so excited” and “so pumped” about the opportunity to be part of the live shows across the nation. She gushed to Rachel, “I could talk about this forever. I could also show you all my choreography — you’re getting the full Broadway-esque experience.”
She teased, “It’s going to be a wild ride.”
“The Bachelor Live On Stage” kicks off on February 13, 2020 — just in time for Valentine’s Day — in Mesa, Arizona. The show will visit 66 cities across the country, from Los Angeles to Indianapolis and Atlanta to Spokane.
The tour brings Bachelor Nation together in a fun and “interactive” experience. According to Becca, “Every city will have its own local Bachelor, so we’re picking these awesome guys who are ready to find love, and 10 contestants in each city. Some will be picked by Ben and I, and some may make appearances from the audience.” The two co-hosts will “get audience feedback on who we think the Bachelor should end up with.” Audience members will be allowed to ask questions, cheer on their favorite participants, and so much more.
It won’t just be Becca, Ben, the Bachelor, and his bachelorettes standing onstage and chatting, either. Becca said there will be a “full production set,” so it’ll feel as though you’ve been transported to Bachelor Mansion or, in proper “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” date fashion, a hot tub.

Becca emphasized that an engagement is not the end goal of each event. After all, it’s only two hours! She explained, “People assume the Bachelor is going to have to get engaged after two hours on the show, but that’s not the case. He’s just going to find his girl who he wants to continue dating in the city and who he is the most compatible with.”
To top it all off, there’s “going to be a great twist at the end,” but she didn’t divulge any more details about that. She did say, however, that this “twist” was what “hooked” her into signing onto the show.
The Minnesota native also said the door wasn’t closed for prior cast members who didn’t find love on the show.
